ESF-11: FOOD and WATER




I. GENERAL:
A. Primary Agency: Levy County Emergency Management
B. Support Agencies: Levy County School District

Levy County Agriculture Extension Agency

American Red Cross – Alachua Chapter
II INTRODUCTION:
A. Purpose:
The purpose of this Emergency Support Function (ESF) is identifying the need for food, water and ice prior to and in the aftermath of a disaster or emergency, procuring resources and coordinating the transportation of such supplies to the disaster area. Food supplies obtained and distributed by ESF-11 will be dispensed to the disaster victims through coordination with ESF-6.
B. Scope:
The scope of this ESF is to obtain needed food supplies (i.e. food, water, ice) to provide to ESF-6 for feeding disaster victims. To accomplish these function activities will be undertaken to:
1. In coordination with ESF 6, identify the number of people without food and safe drinking water.
2. Inventory food products/quantities and identify sources to obtain additional needed supplies.
3. Ensure sufficient storage space to store food supplies.

4 Coordinate with ESF-1 the transportation of food shipments to warehouses, feeding sites and pantry locations.


5. Purchase or solicit food supplies to sustain the disaster victims until local officials/agencies can manage the operation.
6. Authorize emergency food assistance in order that residents should have access to stores for food and means to prepare it.
C. Planning Assumptions:
1. Following a major or catastrophic disaster, there may be widespread damage and destruction to the infrastructure and homes/buildings resulting in transportation routes being impassable; widespread and prolonged power outages; and contaminated drinking water.
2. Normal food processing and distribution capabilities will be disrupted.
3. As a result of power outages, many commercial cold storage and freezer facilities within the impacted area will be inoperable.
4. Shelters should have food and water supplies to manage for 72 hours after the disaster.
5. Damage projection models will be used to forecast damage and disaster consequences. Included in this information will be calculations to identify the number of people to be impacted. This ESF will use these calculations and projections to estimate food needs, quantities and to project the duration of mass feeding activities.
6. Large bulk quantities of food supplies purchased, solicited, or donated will be coordinated by this ESF. Donations of non-perishable food items will be sorted and palletized for coordination and distribution by this ESF.
7. Assistance from the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be requested after all other resources have been used to assist with the distribution of food supplies and/or warehouse operations.
8. Electrical utility service might be impacted preventing the public from safely storing perishable foods and limited the home production of ice.
9. Neighboring counties might also be impacted limiting local mutual aid.
10. Security at distribution sites will be required on previous statewide experience.
11. Public information will be important in order to reach the public with distribution locations.
12. The State of Florida, ESF-11, may assist in bring the products to Levy County, but the county will have responsibility for transporting the products to local distribution sites.
13. One or more primary food “breakdown” sites will be needed to accept bulk shipments and prepare them for smaller shipments of mixed product to local distribution points.
14. It will be essential to have electrical power at the primary food breakdown sites
D. Priorities
1. First Priority - Those areas where utility service has been out for an extended period and many residents are still residing.
2. Second Priority - Those areas where utility service is working, but retail stores are not functioning or they have sold out their inventory of product.
3. Third Priority - Congregate feeding sites and shelters that have access to products from the American Red Cross or contract vendors.

III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS:
A. General:
ESF-11 will operate under existing Emergency Management authorities and regulations and the Levy County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan as amended, to provide disaster food supplies to designated disaster staging areas and mass feeding sites.
Following a notification of a major disaster or emergency, ESF-11 will be staffed at the local EOC 24 hours daily. At this time, requests for food and water, including types, amounts and destinations, will be processed through this ESF. Food and water assistance requests will be forwarded to the State EOC via EM Constellation to coordinate efforts to obtain and transport food.
B. Organization:
Upon activation of this ESF, the Lead ESF-11 Food Distribution Coordinator or their designee will be responsible for ensuring all food and water concerns are addressed. Additional support agencies and organizations may be utilized and will be tasked either to provide a representative to the EOC or to provide a representative who will be immediately available via telecommunications means (telephone, FAX, Conference, etc.).
At the state level, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Bureau of Food Distribution, coordinates this ESF’s activities. The Food Distribution Officer may direct response and recovery activities for the ESF from the State EOC.
C. Notification:
1. Upon the occurrence of a potential major natural disaster or man- made event, the Levy County Emergency Management Director or his designee, will serve as the primary contact person for this ESF.
2. Notification of a potential Natural or Man-Made disaster will be made via the Hot Ring Down Phone, computer, EM Net, and Commercial telephone conference calls with the State Emergency Operations Center Director and/or his staff. Such notification could be to: advise of the potential for a disaster; report to the local EOC or to update information. The County EM Director and the ESF-11 Lead Coordinator will notify all support agencies and may request they report to the EOC.
D. Potential Resources for Bulk Product:
1. Levy County School District

2. American Red Cross contract vendors

3. Wal-Mart – Chiefland

4. Winn-Dixie - Chiefland
